Umpiring career

He also umpired in the Major League Baseball (2004–07) and the Puerto Rican Winter League (2002, 2006) and was selected to umpire in the first World Baseball Classic in 2006.

Notable games

Dellinger was the first base umpire in a September 2, 2006, game between the Seattle Mariners and Tampa Bay Devil Rays. This game was notable for one of the great rarities in baseball, a triple play without the batter touching the ball. With runners on first and third, Mariner Raúl Ibañez was called out on strikes. The runner on first tried to steal and was thrown out by catcher Dioner Navarro. Then the runner on third broke for home and was thrown out at the plate by shortstop Ben Zobrist. It was the first 2-6-2 triple play in baseball history.[2]

Education

Dellinger holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Catawba College.

gollark: Well, yes, and since they can't really be treated the same way why just have one central "write to this" thing with differing behavior?
gollark: If you have a datagram socket thing, then the behavior will be different.
gollark: If you have a *stream*, you can safely write one byte at once (although this may be less efficient), and it's basically the same as writing in batches.
gollark: Which I think has some effects on the most efficient way to write/read them, hence more differences in treatment versus files.
gollark: I mean, an important implementation detail.
